Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَس
َلَّمَ لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ رَجُلًا مَهَابَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُومَ بِحَقٍّ إِذَا عَلِمَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ بَكَى أَبُو سَعِيدٍ قَالَ قَدْ وَاللَّهِ شَهِدْنَاهُ فَمَا قُمْنَا بِهِ

English Translation
'Affan narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from 'Ali ibn Zayd, from al-Hasan, that Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه) said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Let not the fear of people prevent a man from speaking the truth if he knows it or has witnessed it, for indeed speaking the truth or reminding of a great matter does not bring death closer, nor does it push away provision.'
